Chapter 634 She's Very Well-Behaved (Sixty-Three)
Pei Yanli chuckled, "I'll go first, and I'll come find you in a bit."
Shang Shang was just teasing him on purpose. When Pei Yanli said that, she nodded happily: "Okay, then I'll go find Uncle Huang first. Come find me after you finish chatting with your uncle."
Before leaving, she was still worried and said to Shang Xingzhou in a coquettish tone, "Uncle, you can't be mean to Pei Yanli, or I'll tell Aunt that you had dinner with a female celebrity last month."
Shang Xingzhou was both amused and exasperated: "You little brat, what female celebrity? Get out of here."
Shang Shang left happily, and even thoughtfully closed the office door for them.
After Shang Shang left, Pei Yanli's expression turned serious: "I am very dissatisfied with your family. Shang Shang is my niece whom I watched grow up, almost like my own daughter."
"I don't know why she likes you. Maybe you are very outstanding, but your family is really terrible."
“Your family is really not suitable for marriage, but your brother-in-law is a very traditional person. Naturally, he hopes that Shangshang will have a good future. Moreover, they are kind and don’t think too badly of people.”
“I’m not like that. I’d think the worst of people. You know your family’s current situation very well. It’s going to be a bottomless pit from now on. Can you bear to ignore it?”
Pei Yanli stared intently at Shang Xingzhou, his tone earnest and firm: "The Pei family raised me, but I have already repaid what I owed them. I never thought I owed them anything, not before, and not now."
"I won't get involved if something happens to them, and I can't possibly get involved."
"However, I will attend my father's funeral if he passes away."
Shang Xingzhou stared at Pei Yanli, and when Pei Yanli met his gaze, he did not flinch at all, but looked serious and determined.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Alright, remember what you said today. If Shangshang suffers any injustice, I, as her uncle, will not let you off the hook."
Pei Yanli solemnly assured him, "Uncle, don't worry, it definitely won't happen. Shangshang is both my salvation and my motivation. Without her, I might not be where I am today."
"If I were to betray her, it would be no different from ruining my own life."
Shang Xingzhou snorted coldly: "You cultured people always have such nice words. Alright, you'd better hurry up and go find Shang Shang, lest she come looking for you any later and think I'm going to bully you."
Pei Yanli thanked Shang Xingzhou again: "Thank you for acquiring the Pei family's company."
Shang Xingzhou waved his hand: "Anyway, I won't do it for you. It's a lousy company. Let's see if we can make money after diluting it. You can worry about it more later."
After Pei Yanli left, Shang Xingzhou made a few more phone calls.
He just wanted to see Pei Yanli's attitude towards the Pei family. If Pei Yanli still had a shred of sympathy for the Pei family, he would show them mercy.
After all, he's the man Shang Shang has her eye on; whether he's good or bad isn't up to him to decide.
As long as the merchants are happy.
Pei Yanli went to find Shang Shang, who had just finished reading the contract.
Smiling, she came over and took Pei Yanli's hand: "My uncle didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Pei Yanli smiled and shook his head: "No, my uncle just told me to treat you better."
Shang Shang believed this to be true. Whether it was her parents or her uncles and aunts, they always treated her like a child, afraid that she would be wronged.
She cheerfully took Pei Yanli's hand and led him outside, saying, "I know you'll definitely treat me well. Let's go eat first, and then go see a movie."
They were busy at the end of the year and hadn't seen each other for several days, so they decided to have a proper date.
Before they even reached the restaurant, Wang Jianni called, urging Shang Shang to come and save her.
Just after hanging up the phone, Du Mengmeng called again, urging Shang Shang to come over quickly.
Shang Shang was startled. She and Pei Yanli didn't even eat before rushing off to find Wang Jiani.
On the way, I called Du Mengmeng again and finally figured out what was going on.
After listening, Shang Shang was speechless and didn't know what to say. She turned to look at Pei Yanli, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Pei Yanli stared intently ahead, then asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me? What happened to Wang Jianni?"
Shang Shang hesitated for a moment: "Wang Jianni's parents are divorced and don't really care about her anymore, so she has always been very resistant to marriage. Moreover, her father is very irresponsible and has had one woman after another outside, giving birth to who knows how many younger brothers and sisters for her."
"Then, when Jia Ni and Chen Shuo were at home, her father found them and forced Chen Shuo to marry Jia Ni, demanding a dowry of one million yuan."
“Jiani got into an argument with her dad and then hit him. Now she and Chen Shuo have been taken to the police station.”
Pei Yanli thought it wasn't a big deal: "Wang Jianni knows her father's personality; she could have just denied their relationship back then."
"It's impossible for every man who goes to her house to marry her, right?"
Shang Shang hesitated for a moment, then blushed and said, "When her dad went there, the two of them were there, without any clothes on."
Pei Yanli remained silent; no wonder Wang Jianni's father misunderstood.
The two went directly to the police station, found a lawyer, and were released on bail.
Wang Jianni was a little embarrassed when she saw Pei Yanli and Shang Shang. She tossed her hair and turned to look to the side.
Du Mengmeng walked over casually and put her arm around Wang Jianni's shoulder: "Wow, that was fast!"
Wang Jianni glared at her: "Shut up."
Shang Shang felt it was inconvenient to have men around, so she whispered to Pei Yanli and asked him to take Chen Shuo to Yan Lei's place first.
She, Wang Jiani, and Du Mengmeng will go over in a bit.
After Pei Yanli and Chen Shuo drove away.
Shang Shang frowned: "How come your dad still has a key to your house? You're so careless."
Wang Jianni was furious: "My combination lock is my birthday, which I thought would be easy to remember. I never expected my dad to secretly go there several times and unlock it."
Even more coincidentally, she barged in while she was on a date with Chen Shuo.
Du Mengmeng couldn't help but burst out laughing at the thought of the scene: "This is too exciting! Won't Chen Shuo be terrified after all this?"
Wang Jianni glared at Du Mengmeng, then looked at Shang Shang: "Watch your words, don't lead Shang Shang astray."
Du Mengmeng disagreed: "How could that be? Shangshang already has Pei Yanli, how could she not understand anything?"
Suddenly realizing something, she looked at Shang Shang in surprise: "No way, Shang Shang, you're not still having a pure romance with Professor Pei, are you?"
Shang Shang exclaimed, "I'm busy with work, and I can't just stay out overnight for no reason."
It wasn't that she was overly conservative in this regard; it was simply that she lacked the opportunity.
Du Mengmeng thought about it and agreed: "Then we'll have to pity Professor Pei."
Shang Shang ignored her teasing and looked at Wang Jianni: "What are you thinking?"
Wang Jianni raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Chen Shuo and I have decided to get our marriage certificate in a couple of days. We'll invite you to our wedding banquet then, and you and Mengmeng will be my bridesmaids."
Shang Shang was shocked: "So fast? I didn't expect you to be the first of the three of us to get married."
Wang Jianni put her arms around their shoulders and said, "It's the same whether I have family or not. Chen Shuo doesn't have any family either, so we plan to have a simple wedding and invite our colleagues to dinner."
"We'll use Chen Shuo's house for our wedding home, and keep everything simple."
Shang Shang thought about it seriously and said, "That's a good idea. That way you can have a home in the future."
Wang Jianni suddenly teared up: "Yes, I finally have a home."
Afraid that Wang Jianni would suddenly cry, Du Mengmeng quickly took her arm and looked at Shang Shang: "And Shang Shang, when are you going to give Professor Pei a home?"
